Fig. 2: Differences in policy changes in relation to levels of hazard event severity and frequency.

From: Exposure to natural hazard events unassociated with policy change for improved disaster risk reduction

Fig. 2

Plot comparing changes in average values of the Hyogo Framework for Action Priority for Action areas (PFA), indicating self-reported achievement measures for enhancing disaster resilience. Policy changes are displayed for fatalities (a), affected people (b), economic losses (c), and frequency (d) and are estimated as the difference of the average PFA values of the countries that experienced normalized hazard measures >1 (higher frequency/intensity than in the four baseline periods) and the average PFA values of the countries in which the normalized hazard measures is <1 (lower frequency/intensity than in the four baseline periods). Source Data are provided as a Source data file.
